Comments: Yesterday I received a miracle phone call. Lo and behold, Roy May apparently has risen from the dead and is now living in Georgia and is in fine spirits. Apparently we had some bad information about his passing. He wants to join our group and is looking forward to seeing us in New Orleans. I have his phone number and his email address. I will not share that info at this time until I clear it with Roy. I will keep everyone in the loop.

Comments: It is with deep sadness to report the passing of Brother Bruce Jackson. Bruce was with us from the start. He was instrumental in helping to find lost brothers. He also created our database of rosters keeping all informed as to who we were and how to contact each other. He worked tirelessly in the background not wanting nor seeking recognition for his great contributions to the 108th community. Send condolences to his loving wife Bonnie. RIP Bruce, you leave us with huge shoes to fill.

Comments: Our 2016 reunion held in Pigeon Forge was big success. A good time was had by all. We are in the preliminary stages of planning our 50th year reunion in Washinton, DC. Tentative date is sometime in September of 2017. Will keep all in loop as plans become reality. Our newcomers felt it was a rewarding experience and plan to return again. We would really like to increase our numbers so if you were sitting on the fence for this year,please join us next year. All are welcome! On a dour note we mourn the passing of Buddy Bedoka. He was sorely missed. As he watched over us in Dong Ha I am sure he is watching over us now.
